Almanac · noun — a yearly digest of records, forecasts, and useful knowledge.
Africa’s AI Almanac watches where innovation meets accountability — offering intellectual foresight into Africa’s evolving AI governance, and bridging the gap between emerging technology and the policy that gives it a sovereign, digital future.
Everything in Africa’s AI Almanac begins in one of three places: a monthly dispatch, essays that develop ideas, and research projects.
01 / Newsletter
Regular notes on where AI actually is this week — the releases that matter and the ones that don’t — sent straight to your inbox.
02 / Blog
Longer writing and arguments: the ideas that need more room than a dispatch, worked through slowly and in the open.
03 / Projects
Ongoing research we maintain and update over time, not one-off posts — reference you can return to as the field moves.
Ongoing research
We’re starting with living projects and building from there. Each is maintained continuously rather than published once.
